Thanks Dan. I think I kinda did that. I first (on my IMAC) I went to MANAGE BOOKMARKS and then EXPORT the html file. Then I e mailed this file to my own e mail. On my wife's Mac laptop in SM I went to MANAGE BOOKMARKS and clicked on IMPORT but nothing happened!

The menu path should be Manage Bookmarks->Tools->Import HTML->Select "File" in response to the prompt "Import Bookmarks from:"->click on "Next"->Navigate to the directory in which you saved the emailed HTML file->select the file->click on the "Open" button.

Yes Dan that's exactly what it shows. On the laptop under TOOLS I go to IMPORT HTML and it shows IMPORT SETTINGS AND DATA and I click FILE and CONTINUE. I then see the bookmarks.html file on the desktop although under it is says "ineligible", Any idea why it says "ineligible" as nothing happens?

OK I just did that Dan and on the laptop and now I see the new bookmarks.html there without the ineligible note. I then clicked OPEN but still nothing shows up. I must not be doing something obviously!

Could you open the error console and look if an error is reported when you import the bookmarks.

Also could you open the html file in SeaMonkey with file -> open file and see if it displays correctly.

The bookmarks code in 2.49 has several known problems but so far I didn't think import and export was among them. Need to check. I ripped the backend more or less out in 2.53 for the next 2.57 release and replaced it with the firefox library.

Thanks. Where can I find the error console?

Also, how can I "open the html file in SeaMonkey with file -> open file "
